Shocking Finds Inside of Cosmetics

WASTE COOKING OIL
Apparently a type of surfactant is created from used cooking oil. Surfactant makes for easy spreading in cosmetics and regenerates damaged skin. (Can you imagine all the clogged pores??) Cosemetic companies will even go out and get them from fast food places and restaurants. Eek !
products: lipstick, lip gloss, concealer, foundation, etc


OLEORESIN CAPSICUM
Pepper spray! Any chap sticks, lip glosses and lipsticks that gives off that "tingly" feeling, you can bet has this ingredient in it.
products lip sticks, lip glosses and chap sticks


CHICKEN BONE MARROW
Yes, one of the MANY animal parts used in cosmetics. It is said that the glucosamine in chicken bone marrow gives off a youthful look.
Products: Moisturizers and face creams.


FISH SCALES
That's right. This gives of the glow and shimmery look in the product.
In other words:Pearlescence
Products: lotions, nail polish, or lip gloss


COCHINEAL DYE
This dye comes from the poor little Cochineal beetles being tortured! They drown the beetles in hot water, dry them and then grounded to a fine powder. This give a red hue to anything such as lipsticks, juices, candy and gellatin. Ew!
In other words: carmine, cochineal, or carminic acid


BULL SEMEN
Disgusting much? Bull semen is mostly used in hair products to give it a shine.

HUMAN FORESKIN
So, are we clear on where foreskin comes from? If not, its mostly taken from the circumcised part of babies.
products: Some cosmetic companies use foreskin fibroblasts in cosmetic creams and collagens, especially those made to reduce wrinkles.


UREA
This is an organic compound in urine. On the good side, Urea contains vitamins A, D, E, and K!
products: Mostly used in antiperspirants, moisturizers, mouthwashes, deodorants, and shampoos.


HUMAN PLACENTA
Apparently cosmetics use hormones extracted from the placenta help to promote tissue growth.
